Jacqui Oatley targeted by another online troll
Sports presenter Jacqui Oatley received abuse from a man threatening to 'cut' her, according to reports.
The Wolverhampton-born television personality, who was the first woman to commentate on Match of the Day back in 2007, said the Twitter troll also warned he would do other 'unmentionable' things, it was reported.
Oatley reported the abuse to police but was then prompted to make a second call after receiving another threat which officers are said to have traced to the account of a football referee still in sixth form.
The presenter, who has been awarded an Honorary Doctor of Letters by the University of Wolverhampton this month, wrote to the offender's school and the FA. She said: "I decided that, instead of ignoring it, I'd write to his school and speak to someone in the refereeing department at the FA.
"I just wanted him to be made aware of his social media actions and how they could impact on his future career, rather than see him punished."
Officers tracked down the social media user to a house where the sixth-former apologised to Oatley but claimed the Twitter account had been hacked.
Oatley, who has also presented for ITV, was also targeted by a troll while covering the latest European Championships after a fan messaged her saying she should 'be at home cooking tea'.
